There is a mistake in the code below that was recently corrected. Instead of using 0:90, it should use 0:98.

This was a problem for most surveys conducted under DHSVI, and errata have been released for most surveys. Please see:
http://www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-FR277-DHS -Final-Reports.cfm
for the errata for the Niger 2012 survey.

If you make the correction to your program to include up to 98, then you should match Niger 2006 and the corrected Niger 2012 table in the errata.
